Here 20

Here 20 is dedicated to True Colours – because we all need a little more brightness in our lives. On the cover: a charming house by Spacecraft Architects wedged between commercial and heritage zones.

Elsewhere: we check out a bungalow renovation with a twist in its tail by Pac Studio, Space Division and at.space add colour and flow to a 1980s cabin, a.k.a Architecture add a black box to a white 60s classic, and Lloyd Hartley Architects bring colour and light to a vintage apartment.

Elsewhere: we check out the new face of Whangārei; the Here Awards 2023 shortlist; @bouncycastleleonard profiles painter Brent Harris; new openings in Tāmaki and Te Whanganui-a-Tara... And our Open Home series heads to Wānaka.

But there's more this issue: we've put together a special 32-page guide to building, featuring builder case studies and practical information on everything from solar panels to windows and some very nice things you might like in your renovation or new-build.
